| To effect social change in this country by providing a free public service that will one day ensure an environment where all animals are valued companions and have lifetime, loving homes. This free network, which is a collaborative effort of all the animal rescue organizations and services across the country, is easily accessible through both a toll-free phone number and website, which promises easy access to all the local pet information necessary to instill responsible pet ownership and overcome the issue of animal homelessness. Pets 911 consists of not only a website, but also a toll-free phone hotline (1-888-PETS-911) that allows everyone to access the important, life-saving information we provide. This is why we consider ourselves a true public service. We are for profit company, because we are 100% funded by corporate America (PETsMART, Microsoft, AT&T, HP and Kodak), making it possible to provide ALL of our information and services for FREE to both the animal welfare community and the public alike. For the past two years, Pets 911 has partnered with many of the nations largest animal welfare organizations, such as the the Humane Society of the United States, American Humane Association, SPAY/USA, the Doris Day Animal Foundation, Alley Cat Allies, Doing Things For Animals, PETsMART Charities and over 7,000 local animal welfare agencies across the country to provide this public service and valuable information not only in the most simple way possible, but also at NO cost to the public. By accessing Pets 911, anyone can find a wealth of services devoted to saving homeless animals and ultimately being a part of the solution to ending pet overpopulation. More importantly, no one is excluded from any of the information Pets 911 provides. Even if a person does not have Internet access, the Pets 911 hotline enables him or her to access all of the same information by phone (1-888-PETS-911). Pets 911 not only provides the public with a valuable resource, we also provide the animal welfare community with tools they can use to promote themselves and their mission - all for free. As you will see by looking at our "Press Room", we provide animal welfare groups with various celebrity based public service announcements. The animal welfare community can choose any PSA(s) and email, call, or fax us and we will tag the back end of the PSA(s) with their organizations name and tagline. Celebrities such as Jay Mohr, Melanie Griffith, Bill Maher, Edie Falco, Wendie Malick, Stockard Channing and more have donated their time and talent because they understand that through the Pets 911 public service, they are able to in turn help thousands of organizations nationwide. I could go on and on about Pets 911, but to summarize, the above national and local animal welfare groups believe that if you consolidate all the valuable information out there and give the public a single and easy to remember place to find this information, education will substantially increase and euthanasia will decrease. That is our mission. Please take a moment to look at our site. You will see that Pets 911 is becoming an answer for not only the public, but also the animal welfare community on how we in this country can all take part in saving those 5 million animals every year.
